Hi, I'm Christoph — computer science PhD, professor of game design, and occasional children’s book author.

In 2025, I finally saddled my pig and went full-time indie dev.

Current projects include Avocado, a family puzzle-platformer that is backed by funding from FFF Bavaria, and MM, an undisclosed project that is inspired by classics like Micro Machines and Mashed.
